MORE PICTURES WITH THE POPE

I probably should be slightly embarrassed at posting so many pictures of ME - but then again, I am accompanied by the guy in the white suit. They took perhaps 80 pictures and I only bought a few - there's that vow of poverty thing. But here they are - different poses, different angles - but in case someone likes a particular one, far be it from me to act as censor. Some repeat but I never get tired of looking at myself meeting the Pope, so I don't always catch that.





Who says Jesuits aren't obedient?





 The Holy Father checks to be sure I cleaned my nails


 Notice how the usher is already sizing up 
the next one to be presented
 Presenting the commemorative medal 
on behalf of the American Legion Post 2001
This is actually my favorite - good picture of me,
and I LOVE the expression on the 
Holy Father's face.

Father John Meets the Pope

For a detailed recounting of the trip to Rome in May of 2012 where I got to meet the Pope and present a paper at a Vatican conference, go to Frjohnsj, where text and pictures will more than satisfy your wandering curiosity.
